Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net

Merge networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Revert Johannes Berg's genetlink locking fix, because it causes
    regressions.

    Johannes and Pravin Shelar are working on fixing things properly.

 2) Do not drop ipv6 ICMP messages without a redirected header option,
    they are legal.  From Duan Jiong.

 3) Missing error return propagation in probing of via-ircc driver.
    From Alexey Khoroshilov.

 4) Do not clear out broadcast/multicast/unicast/WOL bits in r8169 when
    initializing, from Peter Wu.

 5) realtek phy driver programs wrong interrupt status bit, from
    Giuseppe CAVALLARO.

 6) Fix statistics regression in AF_PACKET code, from Willem de Bruijn.

 7) Bridge code uses wrong bitmap length, from Toshiaki Makita.

 8) SFC driver uses wrong indexes to look up MAC filters, from Ben
    Hutchings.

 9) Don't pass stack buffers into usb control operations in hso driver,
    from Daniel Gimpelevich.

10) Multiple ipv6 fragmentation headers in one packet is illegal and
    such packets should be dropped, from Hannes Frederic Sowa.

11) When TCP sockets are "repaired" as part of checkpoint/restart, the
    timestamp field of SKBs need to be refreshed otherwise RTOs can be
    wildly off.  From Andrey Vagin.

12) Fix memcpy args (uses 'address of pointer' instead of 'pointer') in
    hostp driver.  From Dan Carpenter.

13) nl80211hdr_put() doesn't return an ERR_PTR, but some code believes
    it does.  From Dan Carpenter.

14) Fix regression in wireless SME disconnects, from Johannes Berg.

15) Don't use a stack buffer for DMA in zd1201 USB wireless driver, from
    Jussi Kivilinna.
